A Proposal for Using Web 2.0 Technologies in Scrum (original) (raw)

One of the challenges in Project Management (PM) is the introduction of information technology in PM methodologies. To deal with this issu, the use of Web 2.0 technologies to support virtual work and virtual management of projects has gained attention in recent years. At the same time, the adoption of agile methodologies has grown to better assist mainly the management of information technology projects. This paper proposes a conceptual contribution through the use of Web 2.0 technologies in Scrum methodology. It suggests Web 2.0 tools to fit each artifact and event Scrum, which provide an environment for virtual management of projects. Such tools support meetings and knowledge sharing. It also presents the research qustions (RQ) and methods that will be used to conduct this work. RQ1 is "How can Web 2.0 technologies be integrated into Scrum methodology to monitor projects and store and share knowledge generated in the meetings?" and RQ2 is "To what extent do Web 2.0 technologies improve the performance of Scrum teams?" To address RQ1 and RQ2, we will use multiple case study and action research methods, respectively.
